There's a familiar scent in the air made of earth and iron, like that of blood. It's heavy, sinking into the depths with little to no obstruction

Taehyung stares at the ceiling, his eyes hollow.

His face gaunt bloodless pale, his lips chapped with broken skin peeling out.

Two pairs of hands, have been working continuously dabbing a washcloth over his skin.

Taehyung cannot recall how long it has been.

He does not remember how much time has passed in his confinement.

He simply does not care.

The cloth makes contact with a raw bruise on his arm and Taehyung twitches, whimpering.

A throaty sound erupts, with a series of clicks to his right.

"My sister, begs for forgiveness Master" the sound come from his left.

Taehyung does not respond, pursing his lips shut. The ceiling seems to move– pieces of it, moving infinitely– of browns and reds all confined within a circle like that of an eye.

Soft clicking sounds once more give way to his ears, distracting him.

He looks at the demon– her ceramic face and bloodless eyes that shouldn't give emotions of any sort, looked at him with something akin to sadness— no... pity.

"My sister, fears that you're displeased with her service." Leira speaks up once more "if so that you are, she can le—"

"Leave me alone" Taehyung cuts in "both of you"

Silence descends and Viri, looks at him tear-eyed which prompts Taehyung to avoid her gaze and look at her sister instead.

"Leave me." He orders again.

Leira stares at him, with that impenetrable mask of hers, unlike her sister . "As Master commands, but we are ordered not to leave your side until we have tended to all of your wounds"

Taehyung doesn't reply, merely staring at her and the demon lowers her gaze. She gulps subtly.

"Perhaps, we can continue later." She pauses, seemingly contemplating and then continues "But I must insist you to drink your soup. You've not eaten anything for the day– if this continues, your recovery will be much slower"
